Ten percent of the items produced by a machine are defective. Out of 15 items chosen at random,
----------
Binomial Problems with n = 15 and p(defective) = 0.1 ; p(not defective) = 0.9
------------------------
a. what is the probability that exactly 3 items will be defective?
P(x = 3) = 15C3(0.10^3*(0.9)^12 = binompdf(15,0.1,3) = 0.1285
--------------------------------------
b. what is the probability that less than 3 items will be defective?
P(0<= x <=2) = binomcdf(15,0.1,2) = 0.8159
-----------------------------------------
c. what is the probability that exactly 11 items will be non-defective?
P(x = 11) = 15C11*0.1^11*0.9^4 = binompdf(15,0.1,11) = 0.00000000896
